During the treatment, a licensed professional infuses the colon with warm, filtered water, which then flushes waste out of the body. This process may also be assisted by light abdominal massage to help facilitate results, which include feelings of rejuvenation and cleanliness.

Is colon cleansing a good way to eliminate toxins from your body?

Colon cleansing is normally used as preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy. However, some alternative medicine practitioners also offer colon cleansing for other purposes, such as detoxification.

But colon cleansing — also called a colonic or a colonic irrigation — for such purposes isn’t necessary. That’s because your digestive system and bowel already eliminate waste material and bacteria from your body.

During a colon cleanse, large amounts of water — sometimes up to 16 gallons (about 60 liters) — and possibly other substances, such as herbs or coffee, are flushed through the colon. This is done using a tube that’s inserted into the rectum. In some cases, smaller amounts of water are used and are left to sit in the colon for a short time before being removed.

Proponents of colon cleansing believe that toxins from your gastrointestinal tract can cause a variety of health problems, such as arthritis, allergies and asthma. They believe that colon cleansing improves health by removing toxins, boosting your energy and enhancing your immune system. However, there’s no evidence that colon cleansing produces these effects.

And colon cleansing can sometimes be harmful. In fact, coffee enemas sometimes used in colon cleansing have been linked to several deaths. Colon cleansing can also cause less serious side effects, such as cramping, bloating, nausea and vomiting.

Other concerns with colon cleansing are that it can:

Increase your risk of dehydration

Lead to bowel perforations

Increase the risk of infection

Cause changes in your electrolytes, which can be dangerous if you have kidney or heart disease or other health problems

If you choose to try colon cleansing, take these precautions:

Check with your conventional medical providers first, especially if you take any medications or have any health problems, such as kidney or heart disease.

If clients have a health concern, there’s a good chance Rapha Rehab can address it. That’s because of the center offers more than two dozen wellness services, with acupuncture, yoga, and colon hydrotherapy among them. The latter is the focus of Win Pin, who works to clear the body’s intestinal ductwork of accumulated waste and toxins via a steady, soothing stream of water.
